May 15.—The gossips, the powsnapers,audallcoucernedin the promulgation of news generally, have had such a dull time of it that they have been driven to rgise very big tempests in very small teapots. There is nothing getually happening in any department. The law- yers have no big cases. The market has no big turns. There are neither deaths, murders, rob- beries, embezzlements, nor accidents. The tide of travel has all set the oiher way, 50 that we have no celebrities and nolionizing. An apathy scems to have settled upon this bustling, mer- curial people, which continues so to decpen day by day that we shall soon have lost our individ- wality. Notbing will raise a etir but a new develop- ment In the Comstock lode. The stock market §s our husiness pulse, and, while it beats so feeblv as now, cverything is at astavdstill. It is not so many monihs since that people were wont to point out the bappy kolders of Californ'a and Consolidated Virginia stock with that mild elation at another’s good fortune which is more gencral than the cynics give credit for, even though it be dashed with faint cavy. o They are pointed at now with s gentle com- misseration. People used to gay with the most knovk-dowpative positiveness that Californis could never get below fifty if the wo sbould come. It was cheerfully carecninz around among the binctics then. Yesterday 1t was selling freely ‘ut twenty-one, and buyers were timid st thai. Cousoliaated Virgin that bulwark of Facitic Coast prosperity, sold at thirteen! Small woader that we are baving hard times. Both stocks continue to pay their $2-dividends monthly, votwitbstanding the threats aud wars- jnws of doom; but no one buys them any more witbout a teeling of Dawmocletian uncasiug The brokers are living almost cutirely upon Eastern orders. It will soon be ‘in order tocommence work upon the tuilings of these wondrous mines, and we shall then possibly huve at least an exciting lawsuit. The stockholders ¢Jaim that the **tailings’ belonz to them. The millers claim them als As the millers ip this case are the Flood & O'Brien firm, who are also holders of more thau hasif the stock, the complications will be intri- cate aud interesting. It augurs well that even in the midstof all tue portentous vropheeies which are fiving around the street there were no less thau $2,000,000, in_silver bars, shipped on the last steamer to China. This does not look like an exhaustion of the lode. _ O'Brien’s soi-disant widow has retired into obscurity as summarily as she emerzed from it. 1t is presumed that the testazors have not only ‘bought off her supposed claims, but have pur- chased her absolute silence as well. Atall events, it is made plain taad there are to be no revelations in_ regard to the maguitude of the wealth of the firm. nome wise people in New York volunteered some information by telegraph, fearing that O'Brien’s partoers mizht not know allabout the disposition of bis funds. Th= news was rapturously received by the re- porters, but with toe utmost impassibilicy in the Nevada Bank. WALKING CLUBS. Owine to 3 dearth of society gaseties, the ~oung ladies, driven upon their own resources, are getting up amusements for themselves. Tuey are fnclined to arrowate considerable credit to themselves for esthewing late bours, artificlal light, low-vecked dresses, and all the cleeteras, in their pursuit of pleasure. But, if people will not throw open their houscs and lizht up their drawing-rqoms, what are the young people to do? As it chances, they bave done a very sensiole thiaz. The young ladies bave put on short skirtsand flat-heeled boots, and have gone to work in vig- orous carucst as pedestrisus. ‘They organize in parties of ten or twelve. Naturally, the female element prepouderates iu these parties, but cnourh gentlemen are in- vited to participate in the exervise to lend some exhiluration to the new fashion. It is un- acrstood that the gentlemen are only guests, therefore the ladies provide the collation, which is regarded as a very important vart of the tramp. They start off in the early moraing, gencrally not juter than §, and take the strect-cars to some suburban terminus. City walking is not_only hilly and disagrcea- ble, but ruinous to the feet. We maintain a perfect army of chiropodists in San Francisco. 1t is interesting o watch the gutherine of one of these partics at one of the corners. The girls look wonderfully neat and fresh when they start out, each with some individual coquettish- pess of taste in her walking costume. They carry littie lunch-baskets or bags ke school- girls, and they gabble liko gecse on the start. They return silent and tired. Of course they overdo themselves. People always do overdo these things when they are simply a freak of fashion, and not. a spontaneous taste. Thelr favorite route is totake the Lone- Mountain cars 10 their terminus, which leaves them at the begiuning of the old Cliff House road, once the gravest of highways, but now de- serted by all save the few careful owners of fast borses who like tospeed their auimals over a length of soft road. They strike out cheerfully, makine the good five miles between this aud Point Lobos in ex- cellent time. Then they take to the sand-hills, an absurd thing for pedestriaas to do, and clam- ber around to the Golden Gate past shat- tered Fort Point and in by the Presidio. A somnambulist might et over the ground comfortably,—thelr skill seems adapted to perilous and fatiruing tread,—but 3 member of the modern wallinr-club comes home very wmuch used up. All this pedestrianism has been out to very little practical use as yet. They peither make calls, nor shop, vor go to the theatre afoot. The comfortable tamil riage is still called 1nLo requisition by the walkers, who, oncand all, belong to the cretne de la creme, ana almost all bave comfortsble family carriages. Possibly that is why they take such plezsure in mildiy roxzhlng ir..[ propos of roughing it, the news comes that the Dio Lewis camp party has dissolved after o brief and uncomfortable scason. They bad a bad start. The Doctor himself, alterlong years of bis uncomfortable regimen, fell il at the last amoment, and sent to the camp two physicians’ certificates Instead of himself. Left withour a Jeader; they yet determined to make the best of it. They shifted camp once or twice, but clunz closely o tho conflues of aties, and, finally, witer two weeks of solid misery. disbunded. This denouement has nipped in the bud the Dlaps of several other partics who proposed making the tour of California fu this mavner. The country hotel-keepers rejoice greatly lherzat. If they buve a firm and decply-rooted objection, it is t0 o good-sized camplng party. DUNCAN REDIVIVUS. There has been such utter stagnation that an attempt hufl been made to revive interest in a dead pensation by brioring poor old Duncan eace more upon tho tapls. < e has been ncither secn norheard from since . me_szg?‘; of his capture became stale, and has ?:::“ h;dnyl languishing in Juil, forgot if ot i * His ll‘mn_f cling 0 him with the game devo- - tion which has distingaished them throughout, and have made some attempt to render his cor Tincd quarters as cheerful as possible.

A wld yarn has been circulating these few days past, which has becn belicved by many, to the effect that & sum of money_amounting to £400,000 was on board ths McKinnon in boxes on the night of the attempted escape. It -seems impossible that there should have been nothing left out of the large suns he made away with, but the police had heard this story, and after a quiet fnvestization found there was nothing in it. ) Althouzh the indietments are piled upon him pretty heavily, it is not impossible that he may yet zet off scot free. The truth_fs, that accommodations at San Quentin are daily becoming more limited, and all sorts of expedients are resorted to to avoid overcrowding. A reward for heroism struck the authorities as being rather a neat way out of the difliculty. When the fire occurred in the prison a couple of vears 220, those of the Drisoners who most actively helped in extinguishing it were either discharged as soon after as arrangements could be made, or had their sentences wonderfully commured. Last winter, also, some new law was passed which went into effect about May 1, whereby many more were released. Awmong this number were the Brotherton brothers, two noted forgers, who have for some time been the feature of the prison. “This was not because of the magnitude or peculiarity of their crime, but because of the plucky attempt they made to escape during eir trial, They did get out of jail, and Isy in hiding in the city for many dsys. leading the police a pretty dance. As fn the Duncan chase, they were put upouna tnousaud faise sceuts, until they became wroth . exceedingly, and registered a great oath to find the Brothertons by hook or crook. They were within @ few doors of the police oftice all_the tune, a circumstance which added to the indiznation of the ofticers when they found it out. The temptation of a comrade proved effectual floally, and they were caught in the carly morn- ing on the outskirts of the town with freedom staring them in the face. ‘There was a kind of sympathy with them, and the peonle, especially tiie women, for some res- son or other, were sorry they were caught. This condition of feeling did not please the officers, atter their lonr hunt, it Is necdless o say. ‘The Brothertons were model boys in prison, and got out of the State, after their discharze, on the first ship that was bound for foreign shores. If thev would a1l do likewise, mind emptying the prisons. B &ll sail awa; JOHN POPE HODNETT. A Remarlkable Narrative. Everybody in Chicago—especially the politi- cians of all parties and stripes—remembers John Pope Hodnett, the Fenian patriot, who ran the politics of this town for several years, and passed through several hairbreadth *seapes by jumping through back windows in the melce which bis pugnacious cloguence always caused among his Tipperary auditors. This ,same “Pope Jotn " has had a remarkable adventure iz Washington, where he has resided for several years, laboring part of the time for the Demo- crats and the other part for the Labor Leagues. Hodnett had a bosom companion called Michael Scanlan, whom John elevated into office and Kept i oflice—aceording to John's statement. But he has had a falling-out with Scaulan, whom he mnow charges with base inarat- itude, malice, and bired bullyism with fnteut to kill. “Joha has written out the whole story, and published it w a lengthy pumphlet, of which the v York Sun has wade a svnosis, which we cupy, and advise those who want to enjoy a bLearty l2ugh to read. 1t is John Pope Hodnett to the ife: A PATRIOT'S STRANGE ADVENTURLS. New Tork: Sun. From a somewhat incoherent narrative recent- ly issued in pamphlet form by a Mr. John Pope Hollnett, & Washington Jawyér, we leara of the existence of an organization called the Labor Leazue of the United States of Amerles, of which Mr. Hodnett is President. The pam- phlet does not clearly set forth the character or object of the Leazue. There is something in- defivite, mysterious, awful about junternai economy. It has organizers, ceutral and cir- cumferential, supervisors and safety commit- tees, besides an occult Sisterbood that bears some unexplained relation to the workings of the Leazue itself. We jndge from the narrative in the pamphlet that Mr. John Pope llodnett, the prime mover In this mysterious meclianism, is & very remarkable man, both as an orator and an agltator, and also as the marked victiw of a cJoudy band of conspirators who are trying to assassinate him. We proceed to unfold the de- tails of this conspiracy and the starting adven- tures of Mr. john Pope fodunett, so far as we are able to understand them. One of Hodnett's trusted lieutenants fn the Cause—wnatever that mav be—was 3Michael Scanlan. who holds, or held, the position of clerk in the State Departmont under the emi- neot Mr. Evarts. Scanlan professed u great ad- miratfon for Hodueit’s genius. “He often said,”” writes Hodnett, “In the bhearing of Dbundreds of men, that (fo use his own expres- n) my ability was more than humao, and what would [ be when I arrived at his aze: that I was the only mau in America competent to lead any great movemeat. *Ah{' said he, ‘vou don't know the trouble you have given the Adminis- tration with the Labor League. They would do auytbing to get rid of you. I dare not now tell You what the Chief Clerk of the State Depart- ment told me what the President said o him about you.'”” Then Mr. IHodnett adds, with simple and touchivg dignity: *1f Scanlan did not_mean what he said avout my superhuman ility, then 1t was base hypocrisy in him to say we shonld not ut they do not JAssanTm. t was base hypocrisy; and Mr. Hodnert soon discovered Scanlan's dislngenuousness. In his anxiety to farther tne political fortunes of bis lieutenant, Mr. Hodnett went to the White House to press Seanlan’s appointment to an office of more importance than a mere De- partment clerkship. Scanlan was willing to takeany one of three offices, —Appraiscr at New York, Collector of Internal Revenue for Brook- lyn, or Recorder for the District of Columbia. Al other offices, at home or abroad, kie sternly declined. Hodnett and Scaulan were received, we are told, by Haves, *in his usual suave wngoner,” and Hodnett’s speech in behalf of his friend is reported in full. We give it in part: 1 (John Pope Hodnett) said: Mr. President, T bave o take this opportunity to thank you for the many courtesies you have extended to myself as President of the Lavor League, and to the vari- ous delegations of that socicty which have from time to time called unon you aboat this matter. ‘This 18 n question of vast political influence and magnitude. Mr. Scanlan isnobody—J am nobody; Sy faan that we wish 1o put.forward will il the bill as well as Mr. Scanlan; but the princivle in- volved fs everyThing, is everyihing) Mr. tlodnett next alludea modestly to bhis services fo the late Presidential catnpaign. They were not the less importaut because they were of a nezative rather thap a positive character. ‘1 received.” he explained to Mr. Haye invitation from the Hov. Abram 8. Hewitt, Chairman of the Democratic National Commit- tee, Lo take the stump arainst vou tn a doubtful State, but I declined to do s0. T have that letter still fn my possession, and can producs it. Then he went back to Scanlan’s case: This s the only favor I have asked, so far, from your Administration, and I don't consiger 1t any- thing of a favor on your part to grant 1it. You are well “aware that the organization of which Iam President, the Lubor Lengue, saved this city from destruction, znd yourseif and Cabinet from annibi- Istion, during the recent riots; and in just recog- nition of that valuable service—service that no other man in this city could render, and thut I rendered at the perl of my life—1 sy for that alone you should, without any further hesitation, grant me this appointment. Again 1 thank you for your marked couttesy to this delegation, 4nd to all the delezations who have called upou you by my orders in regard to this af- fair and the affairs of the Leagne, Before Mr. Hayes could give expression to the emotious excited by this “cloquent appenl, Carl Schurz inopportuncly entered the room, aod Mr. Jobn Fope Iloducit was oblized to withdraw, Hayes havio first invitea Scanlan to call that eveninz. The result of that foterview is told by Hodoett: Mr. Scarfan called on ths President at_the np- pointed time and had 2 two hours’ interview with bim. during which time he (Scanlan) snid that he (the Presidont) must return to the Republican par- 15, and the President eaid he would. Scanlan then returned to Hodnett's office on Loulsinna avenue, where & little supper was spread for the principal chieftsins of the Labor League. It wason this festive oceasion that John Pope Hoduett's exes were opened to the base bypocrisy of the man for whom he had done so much. **Judge O'Conner 0ok a glass in Lis band from off the table, lifted it up in fTront of him, and said: *Scantap, here's to John Pope Hodnett, the young Napoleon of the Irish race.’ Then it was that’ Scanlan showed the cloven foot. Hesaid to the delegation that 1 had no ability, but that I bad resurrected him.” Mr. Hoduett’s reflections on this ungrateful remark must be given in bis own language: 1oreat God! sald I (to mysels), is tnis all that ¥ oty O fo resurrect this man, —and fs this the Shviemnity Ihaxer 1f this is the cuse, what an e fecard 1 will lenve behind me, 2na what Py rn_ amily can take in 10y namel Just imag- Tectenfrn,, ‘\1bad no ability, but Thad resur- g .ty A yes! and he max have added, Flom thasins,me Sl the politics | ever knew. B ew was coming, Lkept a watchiol eyeon sy, Scantan, o0 Aderk cloud hung over the future of the apoleon of thelrish race. His supreme in the Labor Leazue made him, we in- fer, the tarzet for the shafts of envious and ambitious subordinates, There were others be- sides Scanlan who hated bim because of his superlority, or dreaded him because of his power. The Fraudulent Administration itself, 35 we have scen, desired to get him out of the way. 1f we aceept his own narrative, Mr. John Pone Hodnett’s life has been in constant daneger ever sinee the middle ot last February. Oneevening in February Scaulap éntered his chief’s oflice bringing a friend, whown !:e_;ln,:ro- duced to Hodnett as Patrick Burus, 2 New York detective. Althongh watchful ot this time, the young Napoleon knew how to be affable. After ihe meeting of the Sisterhood he readily accept- ed Burns invitation to go out ang have some oysters, the great man frankly ex| ressing his preference for half-a-dozen raw on the balf-shell. Thus Burns wormed himself partially into Hod- pett's confidence. The nezt evening he called sgain, and invefzled Hodnett into poing out to the National Hotel barroom and drinking sev- oral whisky sours. Late in the ecvening they went out azain and had several more whisky sours. Then they weot back to the headquar- ters of the Labor League, ond John Pope Hod- pett sank into an easy chair, with his head rest- ing back. While reclining in this attitude, one David 8. Townsend, another of ihe alleged con- spirators, entered the room aud struck him heavily in the face. Either from the eflects of the LIow, or as the natural sequence of too mauy whisky sours, Hodnett fell to the floor, but quickly got up azain, denounced both Burnsand Townsend as would-be assassivs, and fled from the house. 1t does not appear from Mr. Hodnett's narra- tive that the assassination was attempted with any other weapon thun the fist, That proves nothing, however, for it Mr. Hodnett had uot fortunately escaped, the blow of the banamight have been followed up with the bludeeon or duggor. 1lis presence of mind in rushing down stairs and into Charles Schnebel’s saloon, where fhiree policemen were playing cards. in ail prob- avility saved u life of inestimable value to the Labor Learue and its cause. At lenst thatis Nr. Hodnett’s view. As soon as Mr. Hodnett's account of the at- tempted assasstnation got abroad. letters of spmpathy came pouring in from all the branches of the organization of which he is the bead. Mr. Hodnets prints a number of these epistles. Oue Central Organizer writes: 1 was amazed to hear of Michael Scanlan turning into euch a villalnous bypocrite. Who could have thought it, and what his object of such o black, damnable plot could be, on /s very best friend liv- ing? Push your friends in Congress to investigata this conspiracy. Another writes: Your friends are too numerous in this land to al- Jow you to be almost murdered. We will have re- venge on every man who had & hand in this mid- night consviracy. The Supervisor of the Labor State of New York tnquires: Who was in the vlot, do you know? Was therc 2n_attempt made on Scanlan, and Russell, and Felthousen, at the same time it was made on you? Did it include Burke? 1Vas it another Lincoln, Johnson, and Seward affair P From the time ot the happily averted tragedy Mr. Hodnett has been in terror ot his life. When he appeared at the Police Court to make complaint against Townsend, he was accompa- nied by one bundred oi his boldest Leazuers. Seanlap advised him not to go; “ but,” coutin- ved Mr. Hodnett, “I told them that they should, and that my word was law.” £1 also said, *‘If we are to die, let us dle like men, fighting for our life and our Hberty; and if there are any cowards in the organization, now is the time for them 10 step down and out.” Said Scanlan, **Yon are like Napoleon, not born to be Ehor.” "+*No,” eatd T3 ‘I won't dle untll 1 fultil the end for which God created me, and until the Labor Leazue bosses every single State in this Uuton. That's what I liva for, und that only; and the work of the League will be my monument in the bearts of my countrymen. 1 ask po other.™ Notwithstanding Mr. Hodaett’s impressive oratorv, he was unable to secure justice at the Police Court. Townsend was simply fined $10 and atlowed to depart. Burns and Scanlap, fn- dispensable witnesses to the attempted murder, of course managed to be absent from the court~ room. The scene there is metaphorically de- seribed by Mr. Hodnett: There sat Judge Snell, like an owl in the light, azing at vacancy,—Justice blinded, nnd the ench sleening onils prerogatives, while the last intrenchment of a citizen’s rights had been merei- lessly strangied by would-be ussassins, who bad then'and there turned Wis court into a den of wiid beasts, who were breathing the most deadly and {uts] odors on the innmaculate spouse of patient szice, —the Police Court. It was like an angel pleading smong 2 fot_of devils. [ chunced to be the anzels I got my wings clipped. God grant that 1 will live to sce the day when the pregent masked villzins get tieir dues, and that 1 will yot bo the means of dragging the scoundrels to tho bar of Tong-delayed justica! Since the Townsend assault, and the subse- quent collapse of justice, Mr. Hoduerts life, he thinks, hag been thrice aitempted. Once Burns ssked him’out (o driuk, und, though be went, be would take nothing but coffee: TWhen my cup of collee was bronght me I watch- ed lnm closely. feating thal he mizht drop some- thing into 1t and he iried to attract my attention to ecveral objects in the room; but, whenever 1 took my ayes of my cup of codec, 1 ahways pat my open hand fiat over it, 5o that he could get nothing nto it when my eyes were awny., Thyarted in the plan to poison, the conspira- tors tried other mezns. In front of the Riges House, Burns and Scanlan pointed out to Hod- nett **a large, burly-looking nan, apparently about 25 years of 4 half gumbler, half rongh, and a rezular beef-eater, with huge lugs on hoth his cheeks, like a taticned sow piz.! ‘This individual, toe consbirators informed their vietim, Was no less a personage than the Presi- dent of the Cubau Junta, and they offered to introduce him. But Hodoett detected the mur- derous intent of tbe offer, and declined. e seys: 1 kept my eyes on Burns and sgw him nod to the fellow wlo was standing against the Rizge Honse villar, and the fellow wave me alook and canght my eye: and, O! sach 3 murdering look! I never enall foreet it until 120 ta my grave. As we pass- ed by I turned hack, and he frowned atme like 2 scowhng murderer Wwho was thirsting for my blood. 1 knew for what purpose the beef-cater, the New York thug and shoulder-hitter, alias the President of the Cuban Juata, was there for. Baflled at every point, the conspirators made a final effort to jntroduce a female assassin into ona of the sceret meetings of the Sisterhood, but Hodnett *‘issucd orders to the Serzeant-at- Arms to station five armed men at both doors and not allow any women im who were not mewmbers of the League.” It is only fair to say that Mr. John Pope Hodl- nett acquits the Fraudulent Administration of any Qirect complicity with the assassination plot. He has becn o friendly terms with Pri- vate-Seeretary Rowers, who has expressed much interest in the workings of the leazue, and even volunteered to join it, if agreeable. But white Mr. Hoduett does not directly connect the White House with the various attempts that have been made upon bis life, be says: In o far as nothing ever occurred azainst me un- il the President Lad the private interview with Scanlan, Ithink that in justice to the people, to the Administration, to Mr. Scanlan. and 1o myaelf, Conzress ehould give as & fair, candid, and apen investization of the whole affair, and thai the President should be compelled fo stule what oc- curred at that private interview between himself aad Scanlan. - We ask the attention of alt fair-minded citi- zena to Mr. Jobn Pope Hoduett's remarkable case. youns position Lengue for the —— MAGGIE. e Maggie lingered neas my side, Looxing wveetty in mine eyes, While hier snowy &rms she wound Lovingly my eck zround, Murwuging words of tender thes: 10 my simple bosom's pride, e in thy heart ubide— Ever, ever in thy hapoy beart abida **Hast thou not thy love betrayed?
